What are the automotive brands under Ford?
1 Answers
Ford Motor Company owns three brands: Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. In earlier years, Ford possessed eight renowned automotive brands: Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mazda, and Aston Martin. Among these, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Volvo have been sold and no longer belong to the Ford brand. Below are the relevant introductions: Lincoln: Since 1939, when U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt was in office, Lincoln vehicles have been chosen as presidential cars by the White House due to their outstanding performance, elegant styling, and unparalleled comfort. The most 'famous' model is the parade car used by President Kennedy. Notable Lincoln products include: MKC, MKZ, 'Continental', 'Mark VIII', 'Town Car', and 'Navigator'. In China, most Lincoln sedans used are from the 'Town Car' series. Mercury: In the mid-1930s, Ford's management recognized a market opportunity between the economical Ford cars and the luxurious Lincoln vehicles. Consequently, the Mercury brand was developed in 1935 to target the mid-range car market, with Mercury products officially launched in October 1938. On June 3, 2010, Ford Motor Company officially announced the discontinuation of the Mercury brand due to declining market demand.
